Once you have the unlock code, then turn on the radio. You should see
SAFE displayed. After about 3 secs, "0001" should appear. Use the
station preset buttons 1 thru 4. Preset 1 changes the first digit of
the code, and preset 2 changes the second digit, etc. Enter all 4
digits of the code. After code is entered, press right side of "Seek"
button for about 2 seconds, until an audible signal is heard. If you
hose up and get the wrong code...will go back to SAFE displayed. You
will get another chance to enter the code. After 2 failed attempts, you
have to wait 1 hour again for it to unlock. So carefully enter the
correct code the first time.

This will allow you 3 more tries to reset the 5 digit code.If you enter an erroneous digit, you must complete the 5 digit code, even though it is wrong. You have 2 more attempts to enter the correct code.Charlie
